WIS 11 1938 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass reproduces the Wisconsin Route 11 marker of 1938, a black-and-white shield that pairs a rounded top panel with a pointed lower section.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a monochrome flat graphic, with white making up about three-fifths of the field and black the rest. The shield has a trapezoid tab and a rounded upper panel, and it narrows to a point at the base. The WIS designation sits in the upper section, and the route number 11 is set large in the body of the shield where it is the focal point. The layout is clean and symmetrical, and the lettering is heavy enough to read at a distance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The marker belongs to the years when Wisconsin was refining how it signed its state trunk highways. Placing WIS in its own band and giving the route number a larger, isolated field made the sign easier to read at road speed. The shape reflects an early stage of American highway signage, before national standards settled on a single system, and it records how the state organised its routes in the late 1930s. Route 11 is one of the numbered lines in that network.

Made for a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so this marker is seen at hand's length rather than from the road. The heavy route number and the bold band of letters stay clear at that size, and the sharp point of the shield gives the design a distinct outline against the glass. It is a strong, legible mark that suits barware people pick up and turn in the light between rounds.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
